Environmental and social footprints of international trade
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a synthesis of studies on the geospatial separation of consumption and production, and suggest that indicators of environmental and social footprints of international trade must inform assessments of progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imported water risk: the case of the UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace, quantify and map the UK's direct and indirect water needs and assess the "imported water risk" by evaluating the sustainability of the water consumption in the source regions.

Global land-water nexus: Agricultural land and freshwater use embodied in worldwide supply chains.
Bin Chen,Mengyao Han,K. Peng,Sili Zhou,Ling Shao,Xiaofang Wu,Wendong Wei,S.Y. Liu,Z. Li,Jiashuo Li,Guoqian Chen +10 more
TL;DR: This study constructs a systems multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model to expound global land-water nexus by simultaneously tracking agricultural land and freshwater use flows along the global supply chains and investigates land productivity and irrigation water requirements of 160 crops in different regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Footprint Assessment: Evolvement of a New Research Field
TL;DR: A review of the evolution of water footprint assessment (WFA) as a new research field over the past fifteen years can be found in this paper, where the authors reflect on the main issues of debate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct solar steam generation system for clean water production
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive summary of the recent development of direct solar steam generation (DSSG) system for clean water production, in which solar thermal conversion materials (STCM) can strongly transform absorbed solar light into thermal energy, tremendously speeding the evaporation of water under sunlight irradiation.

Consumption-based accounting of CO2 emissions
Steven J. Davis,Ken Caldeira +1 more
TL;DR: This work finds that, in 2004, 23% of global CO2 emissions, or 6.2 gigatonnes CO2, were traded internationally, primarily as exports from China and other emerging markets to consumers in developed countries.

Carbon Footprint of Nations: A Global, Trade-Linked Analysis
Edgar G. Hertwich,Glen P. Peters +1 more
TL;DR: The cross-national expenditure elasticity for just CO2 corresponds remarkably well to the cross-sectional elasticities found within nations, suggesting a global relationship between expenditure and emissions that holds across several orders of magnitude difference.

Water footprints of nations: Water use by people as a function of their consumption pattern
TL;DR: The water footprint of a country is defined as the volume of water needed for the production of the goods and services consumed by the inhabitants of the country as mentioned in this paper, which shows the extent of water use in relation to consumption of people.
